LabVIEW 2009 Crash when save for previous

[rgough]

I'm having a problem when trying to save a VI in LabVIEW 2009 to a previous version of LabVIEW, in this case 8.2, but itseems to crash no matter what version I choose.  I've narrowed the problem down to this:

If the vi contains an event structure I get the following error: Fatal Internal Error: "MemoryManager.cpp", line 547

If I remove the event structure it saves fine.  I'll even get the error if I create a blank vi, and drop an empty event structure on the diagram.  No controls, no other code.

Is this a known problem?  Is this a problem with my copy of LV?  Is there a workaround?  Removing the event structure in this application is not an option.

Thanks

Rob

I have seen crashes with save to previous in LV 2009 but had not identified the event structure as a factor.

Got an email from NI... Looks like this might be a known bug.

If you have a CAR# please post it so we can add this to the Bug List Thread for this month.

Thanks.

I think this would be the CAR#: 183005

So the workaround is to save to LV 8.6, then open in 8.6 and from there save to earlier versions.  It works, I must not have tried to save to 8.6 originally.

And if you don't have LV 8.6?  What's the solution then?

If I had 8.6 then I wouldn't be trying to save it into 8.2.

I'm afraid you may be out of luck, luckily for me someone in my office happened to have 8.6 installed on their machine.

Hi sk_LabVIEW,

Currently there is no workaround, but fixes are being worked on. Sorry.
